I see an anti-trust lawsuit comming!
If this goes through trials well, and they deploy mass market, I don't see it too long before an anti-trust lawsuit is brought against them. I base that statement on the Microsoft case a few years back. Now when you buy a new PC, it only comes with a trial version of office instead of the full version.
Only time will be the real test in the matter, but SBC/Cingular is dipping their fingers into more and more pockets.
anti-trust laws in the united states is a joke.. microsoft is violating them now and in the past, and nothing has happened. lol.
unfort.. nothing will happen..
Wait, I don't know the circumstances of that ruling. How does that microsoft case apply here?
I don't really see the connection to an anti-trust suit. Cingular is offering an add-on service to make free calls to SBC/AT&T customers. Cingular customer...

Wasn't the problem with Microsoft was that Microsoft would not sell Windows without Microsoft programs, even if the vendors did not want to purchase them?
Its a Good Idea..
Its a smart move. Extending the free m2m concept to landlines that your parent company owns.. why not? Gives people an incentive to move not only to your wireless service but to your landline service as well (in places where you got a choice, at least).
Cingular's been havin' a lotta problems of late, but this is one idea thas' pure gold.
very true and i agree, becuase it makes a lot of sense. perhaps this will help bring in more customers..
